- Comes with new colours
- Tweaks to technical aspects
- No changes to power output
Suzuki has refreshed its legendary Hayabusa for 2026, unveiling new colour options and a handful of technical tweaks, along with a sweetened deal on an Akrapovic exhaust system.
While the visual changes grab attention first, the updates beneath the bodywork are just as notable. Suzuki has revised the bike’s selectable throttle maps to deliver stronger torque at lower revs, improving real-world rideability. The cruise control system has also been updated and will now remain active during gear shifts- an upgrade that should make long-distance cruising even smoother.
The refinements extend to launch control as well, with Suzuki claiming more consistent performance off the line. Rounding out the technical improvements is the addition of an ELIIY Power Lithium-Ion battery, helping shave weight and improve efficiency. These updates also carry over to the striking Hayabusa Special Edition.
On the styling front, the 2026 Hayabusa borrows inspiration from the GSX-8R with a new white-and-blue colourway. Although it misses out on the GSX-8R’s blue wheels, the Hayabusa gains sharp blue accents along the fairing, under the tail, and around the headlight, giving the bike a fresh and modern look.
Buyers can also opt for a sleek black finish with red highlights positioned in the same locations as the blue accents, offering a darker, more aggressive visual option. For riders still on the fence, Suzuki is hoping a special Akrapovic exhaust offer will tip the scales. Paired with the latest updates and refreshed styling, the 2026 Hayabusa aims to keep the iconic nameplate firmly in the spotlight for another year.
